3 Br Private Vacation Home Vacation Rental In Windermere, Central Eleuthera

HoHum is a beautiful beachfront home on Windermere Island; a secure gated community, just over a tiny bridge from the main island of Eleuthera. Windermere is an unspoiled tropical hide-a-way; and the perfect place to un-plug, relax, and enjoy the beach with family and friends.

HoHum is a mid-century bungalow-style home that blends seamlessly into the surrounding landscape (and is literally on the beach). It has a 2-bedroom/2-bath main house and a 1-room studio/guest house, with 3rd full bath. The main house features an open floor plan and easy one-floor living in a dreamy setting—with wrap-around patios overlooking a turquoise sea.

HoHum's layout is great for couples and families with kids. The main house features practical tropical design, including beautiful tile floors throughout, and high vaulted ceilings. All rooms and bedrooms offer ocean views and breezes through large picture-windows and floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors. The house has a large comfortable living room, a big breezway with dining and sitting area, pretty full-size kitchen, plus waterfront patios for outdoor dining, sunbathing, and incredible sunrises and sunsets.

The bedrooms in the main house are both very spacious with en-suite bathrooms and direct ocean views. The 'master-bedroom' has a king bed, office nook area, and a very large bathroom with double vanity sinks, bathtub/shower, and a separate toilet room (plus gated garden area with outdoor shower). The 2nd full bedroom in the house has its own oceanfront patio, 2 twin beds (easily convertible to king) and vanity area with sink, plus a separate bathroom with toilet, shower, & sink. The layout of HoHum's 2 large bedrooms offers privacy for 2 couples sharing the house, as each bedroom book-ends the home's living room, kitchen, and glass-walled breezeway. The breezeway's sitting area also has a (full-size) futon-sofa, good for kids or an extra sleeper.

Outside, HoHum has 2 well-kept beach paths off both corners of the house. Each beach path has a convenient cold-water shower for rinsing sandy feet. HoHum's easy in-out beach access is simply awesome.

HoHum's Studio/guest house also overlooks the ocean and is about 100-feet from the main house. The studio is an ideal creative workspace that can double as a 3rd bedroom. The studio has a king size bed, its own wrap-around patio, and beach path. It also offers a high ceiling; kitchenette (with minifridge & sink); and a small full bathroom with sink, shower, and toilet. It was originally designed for use as an art studio, so it is an amazing place for painting and creative projects, with lots of natural light, lots of counter space, a center island, and easels for guests that might enjoy painting or drawing the surrounding tropical landscapes.

AC Note: HoHum is purposely designed for tropical living, with lots of screened sliders to take advantage of “Windermere's” famous breezes. Most times a year AC is not necessary. However, HoHum has AC units in both the main house bedrooms and in the studio/guest house only (they are new and work well). Other main house common rooms, like the living room, have ceiling fans only.

The Beach: HoHum's beach is second to none. It is a haven for swimming and snorkeling. The water is protected by a coral reef, so it is calm and crystal-clear—and especially peaceful for kids. The sand is made from coral, so its powder-soft and cool to walk and play on at-all-times—it extends 5 miles for leisurely strolls & jogs. There is also a 2nd beach on Windermere Island called West Beach. It is great for shelling and just down the road on Windermere's sound-side. West Beach often has picnics during high season (and the bar/picnic hosts accept cash).

Please Note: because of HoHum's super-close proximity to the ocean and constant exposure to the elements, it does need some re-painting to some outside areas, but overall it still remains beautiful. Outside, the main outdoor shower (in gated area off master bathroom) plus the 2 beach path showers are good and in working order (but one outdoor shower off the 2nd bedroom, and one off studio have been temporarily disconnected). Inside the house, an old kitchen bar sink and a bidet in the master bath have also been disconnected. You won't miss them as the house is fully equipped and remains a gem.

HoHum is the perfect house for guests who appreciate a comfortable, charming, and unpretentious home in an private and exclusive location with unbeatable in/out beach access.

Located in Savannah Sound, this vacation home is on the beach. Queens Bath is a local attraction and the area's natural beauty can be seen at Leon Levy Native Plant Preserve and Windermere Island Beach. Kayaking and scuba diving offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with cave exploring and ecotours nearby.
